Jonathan is thrilled to join Maybeck as the Academic Dean. Jonathan is a lifelong Californian, and has loved calling the Bay Area home since he moved here to attend UC Berkeley in 2002. Jonathan has always been a science and nature lover, majoring in Environmental Sciences and Forestry as a undergraduate, and finding any excuse he could to hike, camp, or backpack somewhere new. As much he has loved science and the outdoors, he found he loved teaching even more. After many years in the classroom, mostly teaching high school chemistry, Jonathan found he also enjoyed mentoring fellow teachers and became a full time Instructional Coach in 2018. Jonathan loves thinking about the craft of teaching, supporting fellow educators in being the best teacher they can be, and ensuring students are getting a rich, supportive, and equitable educational experience every single day. Outside of Maybeck, Jonathan is pursuing a master's degree at the Wright Institute in Berkeley in counseling. Jonathan looks forward to integrating new skills into his work as an educator.
